TV Alert: Morgan Spurlock's "30 Days"As we all start settling into our summer routines, paying attention to the television is hard to do. There are those pesky garden weeds, the amazing trails to discover and nearly daily activities.
With this in mind - I thought I would spread the word about a TV show that has been getting a little press before tomorrow nights premiere: Morgan Spurlock's "30 Days". (Airing at 9 PM Wednesday Night in Iowa, on the cable "FX" network.)
A brief synopsis of the show was published in the Village Voice:
30 Days, a six-part television sequel to Super Size Me, warps the line between documentary and reality TV even further as it weaves through American culture. Each episode stages an everydude's-eye view of topics ranging from tabloid fodder (binge drinking and anti-aging techniques) to the more provocative (Islam and homosexuality). In the riveting first episode, Spurlock and girlfriend Alex take a vacation in other people's misery, literally, by spending a month surviving on minimum wage.
For those of you who enjoyed (if that's the right word) Spurlock's documentary Super Size Me, this show ought to prove equally as interesting.
